Buzz Feeda day ago
A reversible crib mattress that goes from firm newborn support to plush memory‑gel comfort for toddlers. Reviewers rave it fits snugly in standard cribs, cleans up in a flash, and feels like a one‑time purchase for years of sweet dreams.
Promising review: "We bought this mattress for our first child and just repurchased it for our second. I love how firm it is for the infant and that we can flip it over to use for a toddler as well. No smell, no noise when baby is rolling, expands quickly." —KarliPrice: $138.50
A pack of Mighty Patch hydrocolloid acne treatment dots to obliterate teen breakouts faster than you can snap a selfie. Reviewers call these overnight miracle workers — especially for whiteheads.
Promising review: "OMG! It actually works! My son gets really bad, large acne breakouts that are really hard to heal. He put these on before bed and woke up to his large white pimples being gone! It's completely gone. I usually pay $50 a visit to a dermatologist for 30 minutes for him to get extractions, which is pretty painful for him. We will be ordering more of these and using these instead!! If I could give more stars I would!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $12.99 (for 36 dots, also available in an invisible dot version)
A travel booster seat because you never know when the restaurant will run out of those sticky, clunky high chairs, leaving you with a wiggly toddler sliding all over your lap as you try to dine with dignity.
Promising review: "We love how lightweight and compact this booster seat is. It is so easy to travel with and take into any restaurant and not have to worry about using their not-so-clean high chairs and booster seats. It fits well around all chairs and safely secures without us having to worry about our son moving it around or falling out. The design is so cute, and our son loves sitting in it, so it must be comfy! Definitely a must-have for on the go!" —Katie BertPrice: $17.10+ (available in three colors)
An all-terrain utility wagon built for family road trips, neighborhood strolls, and backyard shenanigans — hauling kids, coolers, and even cranky toddlers in one ~rolling chariot~ of parental peace of mind.
Promising review: "I bought this wagon a year ago after looking at quite a few different ones. I use this for travel sports. So I like how deep it is and the taller sides because I have a cooler, two big bags, 2–3 chairs and sometimes a canopy in it. So nothing is falling out of this wagon when I'm pulling it. The longer handle is nice because it's easier to pull and it won't come for the back of your heels like other wagons will.Recently the strap that wraps around the wagon and Velcro's broke. I reached out the company and they offered to refund me some money and what to search for on Amazon to replace it. How awesome is that! Definitely great customer service and I'm glad this is the wagon i purchased." —K.MillerPrice: $99.99 (available in two colors)
A fold-flat travel potty seat to stash in your diaper bag, so when nature calls at rest stops or restaurants, you can summon throne-level dignity with zero public-restroom panic.
Promising review: "We are on our second of these, having lost the first one in between children potty training. The seat is easy to use and sticks well to toilet seats. I have taken to using a plastic wedge/lever to unstick the suction cups from the seat for sanitary reasons. Most importantly, the setup is quick and easy, while sanitizing it later on is just as simple. The included bag really helps when you can't spray down the seat after use. The little ones find it pretty easy to sit on the narrower opening and not fall in like a standard toilet seat as well.The first toilet seat held up well over a years worth of constant use and was only replaced when we lost it in storage. Hope this helps those on the fence!" —A. BerardinelliPrice: $14.95 (available in three colors)
An easy-to-assemble toy organizer that corrals action figures, plushies, and squishables into color-coded harmony, because living room disasters are so last season.
Promising review: "I loved this the day I bought it, and two years later, it's exactly like it was when I bought it. Super sturdy, goes well with anything children, keeps things easy to find, and not heavy at all." —PattyPrice: $60.08+ (available in 13 colors)
The How-To Cookbook for Teens, a cookbook for teens to swap 'cereal-for-dinner' shame for legit chef cred — featuring 100 mouthwatering and familiar recipes including nachos, sloppy joes, shrimp scampi, and mustard and maple-glazed chicken.
Promising review: "I bought this cookbook for my son who will be headed to college next year and wants to learn to cook for himself. The explanations are so well laid out making it super easy to follow. He has made three recipes so far and they have all turned out great! He loved the beef stroganoff and the pancakes he's made, and his favorite dessert is the chocolate mug cake (and he's convinced that may be the only dessert he needs to get through college. 😂) I highly recommend this cookbook since it's given my son so much more self confidence in the kitchen!" —Theresa VecchioPrice: $8.48+
Kid-size noise-canceling headphones to shield tiny ears at theme parks, on family road trips, during fireworks, at those ~rowdy~ monster truck events, or at their first concert.
Promising review: "Have had these for my son for a little under two years! They are very durable! And adjustable so he has been able to grow with them and expand the headband. Highly recommend. He also has tossed them several times where they have broken and you can easily fix them and pop the cushions back in." —anelPrice: $11.54+ (available in 18 colors and styles)
A tear-free face wash for parents to introduce pre-teens to skincare without the drama — gentle enough for sensitive skin, fun enough that they'll actually scrub in that ~dreamy~ foam.
Promising review: "I wanted to find a natural and gentle cleanser for my 12-year-old daughter, and I'm happy to share this product was great. Been using it for about a year, and no complaints so far! Recommend it." —LizzettePrice: $18.95+ (available in four scents)
A digital thermometer for when your little one is looking a little under the weather, so you can stop spiraling with ramblings on of "Are they warm? Are they burning up? They look sick. I should just drop everything I'm doing and take them home." This thermometer also doubles down to check bath water temps — guessing games be gone!
Promising review: "This is so easy to use and easy to read! My toddler now thinks the whole family needs their temperature checked all the time to make sure we're all 'gween.'" —Morgan SchmittPrice: $13.59 (available in two colors)
A sunscreen stick applicator to turn SPF application from beachside chaos into a chill swipe — just load it up, glide the soft sponge on, and keep your hands sand- and meltdown-free while you chase that wriggly guppy of a toddler.
Promising review: "This is a GAME CHANGER for the summer. I had it saved for some time, but was hesitant to buy based on the price for something that didn't include sunscreen — but I'm so glad I finally purchased. The container is easy to fill and held an entire tube of our sunscreen. The roller/sponge made it easy to apply on a squirmy toddler, and only needed a tiny bit of rubbing in after using. Will be phenomenal for using on the playground and beach this summer — and my husband has asked for one for the grown-ups in the house too!" —KatePrice: $15.98 (available in 10 colors)
An interactive bath toy to channel water through rainbow tunnels and waterfall spouts — turning your tub into the *hottest* mini water park this side of summer camp.
Promising review: "If you're kid doesn't have pipes for the tub you gotta get them some! Even if they don't use them as intended and make them into connecting pipes, it's a great scoop and pour water toy. My toddler thinks she's a scientist with these things. I try replace them every year so they don't get too gross. Wish I had these growing up!" —PajamamaPrice: $13.98+ (available in two colors)
A faucet-shield splash guard because toddler tidal waves deserve to stay in the tub — no more drenched floors, damp walls, or frantic towel hunts afterward.
Promising review: "I saw this a few times, but didn't want to purchase due to the price and we have a very old tub I wasn't sure it would work on. Learn from my mistake and buy this! Worth every penny! I have two boys who can't not splash, play with water guns, water cannons — you name it. After my 2-year-old accidentally poured out whole buckets of water on the floor three times in one week, I ordered this while they were still in the bath! It sticks, it works, and I haven't had to clean up the floor from spilled water since!" —CakelvrPrice: $59.95 (available in four colors)
A stain remover spray to eradicate ketchup, marker, and smoothie disasters on your kid's outfit — laundry game leveled up, panic moments deleted. Reviewers rave about how *lightning fast* the spray works on even the most stubborn of stains.
Promising review: "Why aren't more moms recommending this stuff!? It is GREAT! It's easy to apply and pretty much lifts the stain right away or even later. I took it with us on vacation because our condo didn't have an in-house washing machine or dryer. I have small children who are messy and would spray this on the stains as soon as I could. Some of these stains sat for three to four days and when I got home to wash, they ALL came out. I was wearing a white shirt and got some blood on it while on vacation. I sprayed it and scrubbed in the sink immediately, but it didn't seem to be coming out, but it just needed time to soak in I believe. The next day the stain was much lighter and we headed home. The stain sat for two days before being able to wash and it CAME ALL THE WAY OUT. I couldn't believe it — especially after setting in for days and drying. The only thing is this does have a bit of a chemical smell so I'm not big on the smell. However it doesn't linger and can be overlooked. 10/10 recommend for ANYONE if you want to get stains out of things." —Casie SwinneyPrice: $7.99+ (also available in multipacks, as on-the-go wipes, and in larger sizes)
A Hatch sound machine that reviewers love for its soothing sound library, intuitive app controls, and customizable nightlight modes. Plus, it's the secret weapon that has even the fussiest baby drifting off.
Promising review: "I've purchased a few other sound machines but with the birth of my second child finally decided to splurge and get the Hatch. I don't regret it at all and even bought a second one and a mini one for my room because I so enjoyed the sounds. The app is very easy to use and I love all the customizations even if you don't pay for the monthly subscription. It's the perfect white noise to fall asleep to." —JenniferPrice: $69.99+ (available with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth)
A full-coverage silicone bib to corral every crumb, drip, and dollop, making macaroni messes officially a bib-only zone and saving your floors from spaghetti showers.
Promising review: "This bib has been a game changer in feeding time for my baby! Clean-up is so much easier (especially on yogurt days), and I don't have to wash clothes as much. The material is GREAT! I can see this lasting a long time. The price was great as well. I'll probably purchase another for travel or to send to daycare." —jlonayPrice: $13.95+ (available in two sizes and up to 27 colors)
A clip-on stroller organizer that snaps coffee, wipes, water bottles, diapers, snacks, and your phone into one grab-and-go hub, so you can glide through the park sans juggling act.
Promising review: "I cannot recommend this Momcozy attachment enough. Especially for strollers that have only one cup holder or the cup holder is not even big enough to hold your massive tumbler. This is totally worth it and fits my large Graco Uno2Duo stroller. Put it on your registry or buy it for yourself!" —NicolePrice: $26.99+ (available in nine colors)
A zipper binder that becomes your child's on-the-go study HQ — featuring a built-in five-tab expanding file for color-coded classes, rings roomy enough for hundreds of sheets, interior and exterior zip pockets for pens, chargers, and snacks, plus a handle and shoulder strap so they can carry their entire school day without backpack chaos.
Promising review: 'Helps my chaotic child be organized! We recently got this for my fifth grader, who could barely contain all her things in her full-sized backpack. This binder was large enough to hold all her folders, pens, boundless lip glosses, and small erasers, and zips up to contain it all. It is now a breeze to pack up her bag in the morning. Highly recommend!' —Max Price: $16.61+ (available in 22 colors and designs)
A sandwich cutter set to turn every lunch into a celebration. Reviewers love how the sturdy molds slice through bread, cheese, and fruit, plus the handy cleaning brushes make post-snack cleanup a breeze, and the perfectly party-sized pieces keep kids asking for more.
Promising review: 'Cuts very well! Now my 14-year-old, who has been eating school lunch for a few years now is requesting 'Uncrustables.' This has made it easier for me to pack my two boys lunches and make it fun for them.' —Ashley RojasPrice: $4.99+ (available in seven styles and sizes)
A diaper caddy for swapping kitchen-island chaos for grab-and-go organization — boasting sturdy handles, roomy compartments (hello, book-ready side pockets), and a lightweight design reviewers say blends seamlessly with their furniture and justifies the price.
Promising review: "I love this diaper caddy! It has a ton of compartments and holds everything I need for baby to carry from room to room. If you're on the fence, definitely buy it. You won't regret it!" —Amanda M BallaPrice: $22.95+ (available in two sizes and five colors)
A palm-sized portable white noise machine you can tuck in your pocket, purse, or diaper bag to soothe fussy babies with 15 non-looping sounds, auto timers to save battery, and recharge on the go — because parenting doesn't pause for nap time.
Promising review: "We needed to replace our old portable sound machine and we are so happy with this! Super tiny, but the sound packs a punch. The volume range is great, and so many sounds to choose from. Easy to use. USB chasing wire included. It'll be a great addition traveling with little ones on adult trips." —MattPrice: $15.99+ (available in 10 colors, two versions, with or without a carrying case, and in multipacks).
A set of snack cups reviewers rave about for their leakproof lids, dishwasher-tough durability, and toddler-friendly grip —perfect for on-the-go car rides with zero snack spills.
Promising review: "They're durable and perfect for little hands. The soft flaps make snacks easy to grab while preventing messes, and the lids stay secure. They're easy to clean, hold a good amount of snacks, and are great for on-the-go. Excellent value and highly recommended!" —Manjeet KaurPrice: $5.42+ (available in two color combinations and in a two or four-pack)
642 Tiny Things to Draw, a pocket-sized drawing book packed with hundreds of teeny-tiny prompts to spark sketch-time anywhere — great for the budding artist looking not for how to draw, but what to draw. Reviewers say it's the perfect on-the-go creativity booster. (Just bring a pencil.)
Promising review: "My 11-year-old daughter likes to draw. I was getting sick of her asking me what to draw, so I gave her this as a Valentine. She loves it! Some of the concepts get her thinking outside the box." —S. DearloafPrice: $9.25
A Baby Brezza formula machine that reviewers say turns 3 a.m. feedings into a breeze — precise formula mixing, three temp settings, and one-touch dispensing save time. (Just know some users flag accuracy and cleaning quirks.)
Promising review: "This is 100% worth every penny we paid for it. It makes bottles in a matter of seconds and at the perfect temperature. It was also very easy to assemble and is also very easy to clean. It makes late-night/early-morning feedings an absolute breeze. 10/10 recommend!" —Maggie CristPrice: $299.99
A resealable pack of Boogie Wipes to zap stubborn boogers, soothe sensitive skin with aloe and chamomile, and keep little noses clean — reviewers say they're gentle enough for daily use and never dry out.
Promising review: "If you have small kids, babies, or dogs, these are great to keep on hand. Although more expensive than some alternatives, they work well and don't irritate the skin like other wipes. I like to keep some of these in the car and my bag, just in case. They also work great for snotty noses, sticky fingers, and dirty puppy faces. They are a little smaller than other baby-type wipes, but I feel more comfortable using them than others. They also have a pleasant scent and are pretty durable." —Angela BowmanPrice: $13.47 for a 90-pack

Larq Bottle PureVis 2 Review: Drinking Water as a Video Game Isn't as Dumb as It Sounds

There's something I learned about hydration that I can never forget: if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. It's a rule of thumb that can come in handy if you are out on a long hike or on the beach in the middle of summer when the risk of becoming dehydrated is pretty high. But day-to-day, I rarely pay attention to how much water I drink or how dehydrated my body could be. Despite the ever-growing popularity of mega-sized water bottles and counting the number of glasses people should drink in a day, most of us (a large estimate on my part) are not as obsessed with how many glasses or ounces of water we consume. But should we be? Numerous studies suggest that increasing our water intake could be good for our health. If we go by the rule of thumb that if you are thirsty, it's already too late, we are probably all a little dehydrated a large percentage of the time. See Larq Bottle PureVis 2 at Amazon Larq Bottle PurVis 2 If you are looking for a fun way to drink more water and you have the means to spend a decent amount on a water bottle, the Larq PureVis2 is a good time. Pros Cons That's at least part of the premise behind the Larq Bottle PureVis 2, a smart water bottle that tracks how much water you've consumed throughout your day. The bottle contains an internal sensor system that measures the water level inside it each time you take a sip and reclose the top. That's one part of Larq. The other part is a proprietary cleaning system attached to the bottle's straw that cleans and purifies the water inside. All together, the device is about as high-tech as a water bottle can get. And at $140 for the 34-ounce and $130 for the 23-ounce bottle, you likely need to be quite serious about your hydration needs to justify the cost. While I've tracked many health metrics in the past, I've honestly never thought all that much about hydration. Despite knowing the scary rule that thirst usually means dehydration—and that water is literally essential to life—I've mainly just drank water when I'm thirsty and stopped when I felt hydrated. So I was super curious to see how much water I was actually consuming based on vibes alone. When you first set up the Larq Bottle PureVis 2, it takes you through a series of questions about your water needs, including your age and how often and vigorously you typically exercise. Based on those questions, the app told me that I should consume about 57.1 ounces of water per day. That seemed fairly doable, especially considering how hot it was (summer in New York City has been high 80s Fahrenheit) and the fact that I go on at least a 30-minute-ish run most days. Each time you take a sip of water from the Larq Bottle PureVis 2 and close the lid, the sensor recalibrates how much water is left and calculates the amount of liquid you just consumed. It then reveals this information on a meter on the app. No matter how little or how much you drank, it adds it into your overall total. This part I found addictive because it basically turns drinking water into a video game, and I got completely hooked. I looked forward to seeing the meter inch closer to 100% with each sip. However, unfortunately, the sensor didn't work perfectly every time. There were times when I would consume a decent amount of water, and the sensor or app, for whatever reason, wouldn't register that amount that I just drank, and nothing I did to try to fix it—make sure the battery was charged, refill the water bottle to the top again, etc.—would fix it. I found this somewhat frustrating because again, I had become committed to getting as far as I could to 100% by the end of the day, and if I drank a large amount of water and it didn't register, that was quite frustrating. And it happened often enough that I couldn't shrug it off. When it did work, which was the majority of the time (if I had to put a number on it, it would probably be 75% of the time), it was incredibly fun and also useful to track my water intake. This was especially true throughout the day when I otherwise wouldn't be thinking about my hydration status. I found that without prompting myself to, I actually rarely drank water. Like almost none at all. I would drink a glass when I woke up and immediately after I worked out, but other than that I basically lived in a dehydrated state. See Larq Bottle PureVis 2 at Amazon The other component of this water bottle—the two-step water purification system—I found far less useful. I drink tap water from New York City, which is already well filtered, and I didn't find that the filter system on the PureVis 2 made it taste any better. I could see this as more useful if I lived in an area where the tap water wasn't well filtered or if I was traveling and I didn't know how potable the tap water was in the area I was in. According to Larq, the purification system works via a proprietary filter, which removes chlorine as well as both perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) from the water. PFOA and PFOS are lab-made chemicals (commonly known as forever chemicals) that don't break down easily, making them potentially hazardous to human health in ways we don't fully understand yet. It also has a UV light built into the bottle's cap that periodically sanitizes the water. You can also sanitize the water at any time by pressing the button on the top of the bottle. There's no way around this: a water bottle that is over $100 feels like too much. But it did make me drink more water than I would have otherwise. I enjoyed turning drinking water—a mundane task—into a game. The fun also didn't really get old in the couple of weeks that I tried this out. While I would surmise that it would become less enjoyable over time, it would always be nice to know definitely just how much water I was consuming. Do you need a hydration meter to do that? Probably not. But if it works, it's not like your money is going to waste. Better hydration has been linked to better long-term health in numerous studies. This makes sense: water plays a vital role in just about every organ system in your body. There is also some amount of upkeep, which you usually don't expect in a water bottle. The bottle is charged with USB-C, and according to Larq, one charge will last a full month. When the battery is low, the cap will blink yellow. You can also see the battery level in the app. Larq also says the sensor will likely never need to be replaced, as it's designed to last for more than 100,000 cycles. The filter, though, does need to be swapped every couple of months, depending on use, and the app will tell you when it's time to get a new one. So no, you don't need a $100-plus water bottle. But if you are looking for an engaging way to improve your hydration status throughout the day or you need a filtration system on the go, the Larq Bottle PureVis 2 gets the job done the majority of the time. Just don't expect it to log your sips perfectly. See Larq Bottle PureVis 2 at Amazon

This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake.

Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that thousands of reviewers swear by for helping restore their hair and promote healthy hair growth over time. It also includes nourishing ingredients like rosemary oil, zinc, and coconut oil to help moisturize locks and give them a fuller, more volumized look. A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers designed so that one side of them cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grime, and the other side whitens them, restoring your sneakers and their soles to their former glory. Take THAT, passage of time. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering the full-size price of its competitor, the $54 Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. A bottle of Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that's working OVERTIME on preventing you from replacing your carpets — not only does this vanish the evidence of pet-related stains and odors, but it leaves the area smelling so nice that you'll be like, "Um, is this my new signature perfume??" Extremely bonus: it also deters pets from peeing, so if there's a ~hot spot~ your doggo loves to frequent, this ought to curb the habit. A jar of all-in-one decor paint, a chalk-style paint with a built-in primer designed to easily glide on furniture, upholstery, and any wood, metal, and glass surfaces. It's eco-friendly and dries with a chalky matte finish within 30 minutes of application, making it a boon for parents doing DIY projects. Reviewers use it on everything from old couches to front doors to dressers to fences. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner that uses vinegar and water to blow hot steam into your microwave oven and loosen up all the old food and stains in a mere seven minutes (approximately two Lizzo songs, if anyone's keeping track). An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer so the next time you're all, "CLEAN YOUR ROOM I AM BEGGING YOU," the kiddos can have a blast racing to get all their beloved plushies off the floor and in their little pocket homes.

25 Amazon Parenting Products Reviewers Love

A reversible crib mattress that goes from firm newborn support to plush memory‑gel comfort for toddlers. Reviewers rave it fits snugly in standard cribs, cleans up in a flash, and feels like a one‑time purchase for years of sweet dreams. Promising review: "We bought this mattress for our first child and just repurchased it for our second. I love how firm it is for the infant and that we can flip it over to use for a toddler as well. No smell, no noise when baby is rolling, expands quickly." —KarliPrice: $138.50 A pack of Mighty Patch hydrocolloid acne treatment dots to obliterate teen breakouts faster than you can snap a selfie. Reviewers call these overnight miracle workers — especially for whiteheads. Promising review: "OMG! It actually works! My son gets really bad, large acne breakouts that are really hard to heal. He put these on before bed and woke up to his large white pimples being gone! It's completely gone. I usually pay $50 a visit to a dermatologist for 30 minutes for him to get extractions, which is pretty painful for him. We will be ordering more of these and using these instead!! If I could give more stars I would!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $12.99 (for 36 dots, also available in an invisible dot version) A travel booster seat because you never know when the restaurant will run out of those sticky, clunky high chairs, leaving you with a wiggly toddler sliding all over your lap as you try to dine with dignity. Promising review: "We love how lightweight and compact this booster seat is. It is so easy to travel with and take into any restaurant and not have to worry about using their not-so-clean high chairs and booster seats. It fits well around all chairs and safely secures without us having to worry about our son moving it around or falling out. The design is so cute, and our son loves sitting in it, so it must be comfy! Definitely a must-have for on the go!" —Katie BertPrice: $17.10+ (available in three colors) An all-terrain utility wagon built for family road trips, neighborhood strolls, and backyard shenanigans — hauling kids, coolers, and even cranky toddlers in one ~rolling chariot~ of parental peace of mind. Promising review: "I bought this wagon a year ago after looking at quite a few different ones. I use this for travel sports. So I like how deep it is and the taller sides because I have a cooler, two big bags, 2–3 chairs and sometimes a canopy in it. So nothing is falling out of this wagon when I'm pulling it. The longer handle is nice because it's easier to pull and it won't come for the back of your heels like other wagons the strap that wraps around the wagon and Velcro's broke. I reached out the company and they offered to refund me some money and what to search for on Amazon to replace it. How awesome is that! Definitely great customer service and I'm glad this is the wagon i purchased." — $99.99 (available in two colors) A fold-flat travel potty seat to stash in your diaper bag, so when nature calls at rest stops or restaurants, you can summon throne-level dignity with zero public-restroom panic. Promising review: "We are on our second of these, having lost the first one in between children potty training. The seat is easy to use and sticks well to toilet seats. I have taken to using a plastic wedge/lever to unstick the suction cups from the seat for sanitary reasons. Most importantly, the setup is quick and easy, while sanitizing it later on is just as simple. The included bag really helps when you can't spray down the seat after use. The little ones find it pretty easy to sit on the narrower opening and not fall in like a standard toilet seat as first toilet seat held up well over a years worth of constant use and was only replaced when we lost it in storage. Hope this helps those on the fence!" —A. BerardinelliPrice: $14.95 (available in three colors) An easy-to-assemble toy organizer that corrals action figures, plushies, and squishables into color-coded harmony, because living room disasters are so last season. Promising review: "I loved this the day I bought it, and two years later, it's exactly like it was when I bought it. Super sturdy, goes well with anything children, keeps things easy to find, and not heavy at all." —PattyPrice: $60.08+ (available in 13 colors) The How-To Cookbook for Teens, a cookbook for teens to swap 'cereal-for-dinner' shame for legit chef cred — featuring 100 mouthwatering and familiar recipes including nachos, sloppy joes, shrimp scampi, and mustard and maple-glazed chicken. Promising review: "I bought this cookbook for my son who will be headed to college next year and wants to learn to cook for himself. The explanations are so well laid out making it super easy to follow. He has made three recipes so far and they have all turned out great! He loved the beef stroganoff and the pancakes he's made, and his favorite dessert is the chocolate mug cake (and he's convinced that may be the only dessert he needs to get through college. 😂) I highly recommend this cookbook since it's given my son so much more self confidence in the kitchen!" —Theresa VecchioPrice: $8.48+ Kid-size noise-canceling headphones to shield tiny ears at theme parks, on family road trips, during fireworks, at those ~rowdy~ monster truck events, or at their first concert. Promising review: "Have had these for my son for a little under two years! They are very durable! And adjustable so he has been able to grow with them and expand the headband. Highly recommend. He also has tossed them several times where they have broken and you can easily fix them and pop the cushions back in." —anelPrice: $11.54+ (available in 18 colors and styles) A tear-free face wash for parents to introduce pre-teens to skincare without the drama — gentle enough for sensitive skin, fun enough that they'll actually scrub in that ~dreamy~ foam. Promising review: "I wanted to find a natural and gentle cleanser for my 12-year-old daughter, and I'm happy to share this product was great. Been using it for about a year, and no complaints so far! Recommend it." —LizzettePrice: $18.95+ (available in four scents) A digital thermometer for when your little one is looking a little under the weather, so you can stop spiraling with ramblings on of "Are they warm? Are they burning up? They look sick. I should just drop everything I'm doing and take them home." This thermometer also doubles down to check bath water temps — guessing games be gone! Promising review: "This is so easy to use and easy to read! My toddler now thinks the whole family needs their temperature checked all the time to make sure we're all 'gween.'" —Morgan SchmittPrice: $13.59 (available in two colors) A sunscreen stick applicator to turn SPF application from beachside chaos into a chill swipe — just load it up, glide the soft sponge on, and keep your hands sand- and meltdown-free while you chase that wriggly guppy of a toddler. Promising review: "This is a GAME CHANGER for the summer. I had it saved for some time, but was hesitant to buy based on the price for something that didn't include sunscreen — but I'm so glad I finally purchased. The container is easy to fill and held an entire tube of our sunscreen. The roller/sponge made it easy to apply on a squirmy toddler, and only needed a tiny bit of rubbing in after using. Will be phenomenal for using on the playground and beach this summer — and my husband has asked for one for the grown-ups in the house too!" —KatePrice: $15.98 (available in 10 colors) An interactive bath toy to channel water through rainbow tunnels and waterfall spouts — turning your tub into the *hottest* mini water park this side of summer camp. Promising review: "If you're kid doesn't have pipes for the tub you gotta get them some! Even if they don't use them as intended and make them into connecting pipes, it's a great scoop and pour water toy. My toddler thinks she's a scientist with these things. I try replace them every year so they don't get too gross. Wish I had these growing up!" —PajamamaPrice: $13.98+ (available in two colors) A faucet-shield splash guard because toddler tidal waves deserve to stay in the tub — no more drenched floors, damp walls, or frantic towel hunts afterward. Promising review: "I saw this a few times, but didn't want to purchase due to the price and we have a very old tub I wasn't sure it would work on. Learn from my mistake and buy this! Worth every penny! I have two boys who can't not splash, play with water guns, water cannons — you name it. After my 2-year-old accidentally poured out whole buckets of water on the floor three times in one week, I ordered this while they were still in the bath! It sticks, it works, and I haven't had to clean up the floor from spilled water since!" —CakelvrPrice: $59.95 (available in four colors) A stain remover spray to eradicate ketchup, marker, and smoothie disasters on your kid's outfit — laundry game leveled up, panic moments deleted. Reviewers rave about how *lightning fast* the spray works on even the most stubborn of stains. Promising review: "Why aren't more moms recommending this stuff!? It is GREAT! It's easy to apply and pretty much lifts the stain right away or even later. I took it with us on vacation because our condo didn't have an in-house washing machine or dryer. I have small children who are messy and would spray this on the stains as soon as I could. Some of these stains sat for three to four days and when I got home to wash, they ALL came out. I was wearing a white shirt and got some blood on it while on vacation. I sprayed it and scrubbed in the sink immediately, but it didn't seem to be coming out, but it just needed time to soak in I believe. The next day the stain was much lighter and we headed home. The stain sat for two days before being able to wash and it CAME ALL THE WAY OUT. I couldn't believe it — especially after setting in for days and drying. The only thing is this does have a bit of a chemical smell so I'm not big on the smell. However it doesn't linger and can be overlooked. 10/10 recommend for ANYONE if you want to get stains out of things." —Casie SwinneyPrice: $7.99+ (also available in multipacks, as on-the-go wipes, and in larger sizes) A Hatch sound machine that reviewers love for its soothing sound library, intuitive app controls, and customizable nightlight modes. Plus, it's the secret weapon that has even the fussiest baby drifting off. Promising review: "I've purchased a few other sound machines but with the birth of my second child finally decided to splurge and get the Hatch. I don't regret it at all and even bought a second one and a mini one for my room because I so enjoyed the sounds. The app is very easy to use and I love all the customizations even if you don't pay for the monthly subscription. It's the perfect white noise to fall asleep to." —JenniferPrice: $69.99+ (available with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) A full-coverage silicone bib to corral every crumb, drip, and dollop, making macaroni messes officially a bib-only zone and saving your floors from spaghetti showers. Promising review: "This bib has been a game changer in feeding time for my baby! Clean-up is so much easier (especially on yogurt days), and I don't have to wash clothes as much. The material is GREAT! I can see this lasting a long time. The price was great as well. I'll probably purchase another for travel or to send to daycare." —jlonayPrice: $13.95+ (available in two sizes and up to 27 colors) A clip-on stroller organizer that snaps coffee, wipes, water bottles, diapers, snacks, and your phone into one grab-and-go hub, so you can glide through the park sans juggling act. Promising review: "I cannot recommend this Momcozy attachment enough. Especially for strollers that have only one cup holder or the cup holder is not even big enough to hold your massive tumbler. This is totally worth it and fits my large Graco Uno2Duo stroller. Put it on your registry or buy it for yourself!" —NicolePrice: $26.99+ (available in nine colors) A zipper binder that becomes your child's on-the-go study HQ — featuring a built-in five-tab expanding file for color-coded classes, rings roomy enough for hundreds of sheets, interior and exterior zip pockets for pens, chargers, and snacks, plus a handle and shoulder strap so they can carry their entire school day without backpack chaos. Promising review: 'Helps my chaotic child be organized! We recently got this for my fifth grader, who could barely contain all her things in her full-sized backpack. This binder was large enough to hold all her folders, pens, boundless lip glosses, and small erasers, and zips up to contain it all. It is now a breeze to pack up her bag in the morning. Highly recommend!' —Max Price: $16.61+ (available in 22 colors and designs) A sandwich cutter set to turn every lunch into a celebration. Reviewers love how the sturdy molds slice through bread, cheese, and fruit, plus the handy cleaning brushes make post-snack cleanup a breeze, and the perfectly party-sized pieces keep kids asking for more. Promising review: 'Cuts very well! Now my 14-year-old, who has been eating school lunch for a few years now is requesting 'Uncrustables.' This has made it easier for me to pack my two boys lunches and make it fun for them.' —Ashley RojasPrice: $4.99+ (available in seven styles and sizes) A diaper caddy for swapping kitchen-island chaos for grab-and-go organization — boasting sturdy handles, roomy compartments (hello, book-ready side pockets), and a lightweight design reviewers say blends seamlessly with their furniture and justifies the price. Promising review: "I love this diaper caddy! It has a ton of compartments and holds everything I need for baby to carry from room to room. If you're on the fence, definitely buy it. You won't regret it!" —Amanda M BallaPrice: $22.95+ (available in two sizes and five colors) A palm-sized portable white noise machine you can tuck in your pocket, purse, or diaper bag to soothe fussy babies with 15 non-looping sounds, auto timers to save battery, and recharge on the go — because parenting doesn't pause for nap time. Promising review: "We needed to replace our old portable sound machine and we are so happy with this! Super tiny, but the sound packs a punch. The volume range is great, and so many sounds to choose from. Easy to use. USB chasing wire included. It'll be a great addition traveling with little ones on adult trips." —MattPrice: $15.99+ (available in 10 colors, two versions, with or without a carrying case, and in multipacks). A set of snack cups reviewers rave about for their leakproof lids, dishwasher-tough durability, and toddler-friendly grip —perfect for on-the-go car rides with zero snack spills. Promising review: "They're durable and perfect for little hands. The soft flaps make snacks easy to grab while preventing messes, and the lids stay secure. They're easy to clean, hold a good amount of snacks, and are great for on-the-go. Excellent value and highly recommended!" —Manjeet KaurPrice: $5.42+ (available in two color combinations and in a two or four-pack) 642 Tiny Things to Draw, a pocket-sized drawing book packed with hundreds of teeny-tiny prompts to spark sketch-time anywhere — great for the budding artist looking not for how to draw, but what to draw. Reviewers say it's the perfect on-the-go creativity booster. (Just bring a pencil.) Promising review: "My 11-year-old daughter likes to draw. I was getting sick of her asking me what to draw, so I gave her this as a Valentine. She loves it! Some of the concepts get her thinking outside the box." —S. DearloafPrice: $9.25 A Baby Brezza formula machine that reviewers say turns 3 a.m. feedings into a breeze — precise formula mixing, three temp settings, and one-touch dispensing save time. (Just know some users flag accuracy and cleaning quirks.) Promising review: "This is 100% worth every penny we paid for it. It makes bottles in a matter of seconds and at the perfect temperature. It was also very easy to assemble and is also very easy to clean. It makes late-night/early-morning feedings an absolute breeze. 10/10 recommend!" —Maggie CristPrice: $299.99 A resealable pack of Boogie Wipes to zap stubborn boogers, soothe sensitive skin with aloe and chamomile, and keep little noses clean — reviewers say they're gentle enough for daily use and never dry out. Promising review: "If you have small kids, babies, or dogs, these are great to keep on hand. Although more expensive than some alternatives, they work well and don't irritate the skin like other wipes. I like to keep some of these in the car and my bag, just in case. They also work great for snotty noses, sticky fingers, and dirty puppy faces. They are a little smaller than other baby-type wipes, but I feel more comfortable using them than others. They also have a pleasant scent and are pretty durable." —Angela BowmanPrice: $13.47 for a 90-pack
